What is the Disability Tax Credit (DTC)?

The DTC is a tax credit that helps people with impairments reduce the amount of income tax they may have to pay or have already paid. If you are approved, you can retroactively apply this tax credit against the last 10 years (assuming you’ve done a tax return over the past 10 years). By applying this credit retroactively, the government would pay you back for those years.​

Is the DTC a new program?

The tax credit has existed for many years. The challenge was the application process. It was time consuming, confusing and doctors just don’t like filling out the form. This made it hard to get approved in the past. UROSPOT partnered with a company that solved these hurdles. They made the application process easy and painless, and they have a 98% approval rate. This means 98% of those who apply for the tax credit are receiving it. They have designed a way for Canadians and doctors to fill this form out quickly and easily so Canadians can get the money back that they deserve.​

How much will I get back?

This depends on your income and how many years you’ve been struggling with incontinence, but for people with an average salary it could range from $750-$1500 per year. With the 10-year retroactive component, this could mean $7,500 – $15,000 which the government pays you in a lump sum.

Is there a cost to use this program?

There is a one time cost of $149 which includes a personal guide to walk you through your individual application and answer all your questions. This small investment could return thousands upon your approval. In some cases your physician may charge you a small fee to sign the completed application.  This is physician dependent.

What happens if I am approved?

Your personal guide can connect you with a tax expert who will adjust your previous tax returns to apply the credit you’ve just been approved for. You can also have your accountant do the adjustment for you, or even the CRA. Once that is done, you will receive your approved lump sum from the government generally in a couple of weeks.

What is the success rate?

Using this program, there is a 98% success rate in receiving the disability tax credit.
